Sybil Leigh's Lovers.
BY LIZZIE NJ. MULnERN.

"lnlove, il love be love. and love be ours.
Faith aud wfaith can ne'er he equal powers
As he quotes the words, vane Debevoi.
looks down at the rose-tinted face of Sybi
Leigh, with its bronze-bright hair curling
and clustering over the low, white brow, ITS
yiolet eyes, and dimpled chin.
IAN this morning. he said ''vivian's
song has rung through my mind. Do YOU
believe that 'unfaith in aught, is want oi
faith in alp"
"Yes," she answered slowly, "where
there-is not perfect faith, there cannot be
perfect love-"
Whether he was carried away by the spell
of her fair, young beauty, or the soft, hazy
glamour that falls so strangely over human
hearts in the cleaning, Vane Debevois
could never tell, but before the girl even
dreamed Of his intention, he bent his hand
some head, and drawing her closer to him,
pressed lovers passionate kiss on her
tIemulous lips.
A wild thrill of delight swept over Sybil
Leigh at her lovers .caress. No doubt OF
his honor and ruth came to her in that
moment
'You can trust me all in ALL " he said,
still quoting Tenny sons pathetic love-song,
for it was safer under the circumstances to
make love secondhand than TO entangle
himself.
In all her after life that scene came back
to Sybil Leigh. The soft hush of the twi-
light; the bright amber glow of the last
rays of the setting sun, the low, soft sound
of the ebbing waves on the beach below.
She had known SO little of the world, of
its faith or want of faith, its truth or lack
of truth, that her innocentyoung heart had
gone out 70 this handsome stranger even
before she knew it.
Not that she had given her loYe unsought,
for he hal wooed her in thousand name
less ways, though loye-words had been un-
spoken.
To tell the truth, standing there Vane
DebeYois had manhood enough in him to
be sorry for the caress that had brought
such light and warmth o the lovely young
face.
She had lived the seventeen years of her
bright young life in the quaint, old-fash-
ioned homestead on the hill, with Guy and
Madeline Layton, though none of their
blood ran in her veins, only in the long
ago, pale, sweet Madeline had loved and
lost--lost through the fair beauty of anoth-
er faee--the face of Sybll Leigh's mother,
her own false friend
But long after, when Charles Leigh had
been dead for years, and the summons
came for the fragile young wife he had left
behind him, Madeline had taken Sybil from
her dying mothers arms, and laid the kiss
of forgiveness on the brow already growing
cold.
Perhaps II was the memory of this, for
he had heard the simple story, that made
Vane Debevois sorry for what he had done,
but the sorrow lasted only for moment.
"lake the good the gods provide thee"
had always been his motto, and a mans
nature cannot change IN ay.
So the bright, sweet summer passed, and
Sybll kept her sweet love-seeret, never
dreaming that the eyes OF Guy Layton had
read it before herself.
Almost a month had passed since Vane
had pressed that passionate love-l1iss on
her lips, and she grew sweotor and lairer in
the brightness Of her love-dFeam.

Useful and Hurtful aeaiciues


There is a certain class of remedies for
constipation absolutely useless. These are
boluscs and potions made in great part Of
podophyllin,alo rhubarh gambone, and
other worthless ingredients. The damage
they do TO the stomnchs of those who use
them is incalculablc They cyacuate the
bowels, IL is true, but always do 80 violent
ly and profuscly. and besides, gripe the
bowels. Their effect is 30 weaken both
them and the stomach. Better far to use
the agreeable and saluary aperisnt, Hos
tetter't Stomach Bittcrs, the laxative effect
Of which is never preceded by pain, or ac-
companled by cunvulsive, violent action
OF the bowels. On the contrary, 1t invigor-
ates those organs, the stomach and the en-
tire system. As n means Of curing and
preventing maIarial fevers, no medicine can
compare with it, and it remedies nervous
debility, rheumatism, kidney and bladder
inactivity, and other inorganic ailments.

LOVERS.

Marriage is so often the result of circum-
stances which throw two people together
of consideration OF the fitness of things
of momentary impulse, OF of cool dellbera-
ation-that that which should be the hap,
piest state of things is often the unhappl-
est.
And people speak of wedding as they
would a lottery, where there are more
blanks than prizes.
The only true matches are made by love,
and when two people haye really loved
really loved from the depths of their very
hearts-nothing can ever quite part them
again.
We do not say this of those who have
only been called, or called themselves, low
ers.
A couple may be engaged, Or, 1t may be,
even married. and yet that wonderful tie
of great love may never have existed be-
tween them.
When it does exist, all the waters cannot
quench il, nor the seas cover it.
Forever and forever-at least in the for
ever life-those two are more than any two
who have not loved can be.
Sometimes happy fate actually unites two
who love thus, and they live long, happy
life together.

Robert Burns married farm-girl with
whom he fell in love while they worked to-
gether in plowed field.
Milton married the daughter of a coun.
try squire, and lived with her but short
time. He was an austore literary Iecluse,
while she was rosy romping country lass,
who could not endure the restraint imposed
upon her. so they separated.
Subsequently, however, she returned. and
they lived tolerably happy
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were
cousins, rare example in the long line of
English monarchs wherein the marital VOWS
were sacredly observed, and sincere affec-
ton existed.
Shakespeare loved and welded farmers

children. 1t Is enough to say she was
worthy of him, and they lived as married

each other
John Adams married the daughter of a
Presbyterian minister. Her father object
ed on account of John being a lawyer.
John Howard, the great philanthropist,
married his nurse.
She was altogether beneath him in social
life and intellectual capacity, and beside
this, was fifty-two years old, while he was
but twenty-five. He wouldn't take "No"
for an answer, and they were married and
lived happily until she died, which occurred
two years afterwafd
Peter the Great, of Russia, married a

the bottom of it.
No relation can be more charged with
responsibility than that between a parent

1t is dangerous to search for motives
when you are convinced that only bad ones
can be found. Charitable Ignorance is bet
ter for peace of mind than the disgust en-
gendered Of knowledge.
Every man must patiently bide his
time. He must wait-not in listless idle
ness, but in constant steady, cheerful en-
deaYors, always willing and fulfilling and
accomplishing his task, that, when the oc-
casion comes, he may he equal to the oc-

LOVES WORK.

Only yesterday the fields
i.o0kedso commonplace and bare
Now they are so fresh and green,
Starred with daisies everywhere,
only yesterday the woods
Were but beech and old elm trees.
Tfey are vocal now with song,
Full OF tender mysteries.
What had changed the fields and wood,
Made the sky so blue above?
Filled the ambient air with song?
II was all the work of love
Many through the fields and wood
Walked again last night with me;
Heard my VOWS, while thrushes sang,
sweet SO Sweetl'' from ev tree.
Only yesterlaXmy work
seemed SO wearisQme and dun,
As the hours went slowly by
Each of irlIsome labor full:
But to-day do not fear
With the hardest task to cope.
For the workers. hand is strong
When his heart is full of hope.
l.oys this morning sent me oil
70 my work with willing feet;
Love passed every hour away,
Toa measure quick and sweet;
Fields, and woods, and my own heart.
Are with song and music rife,
Work is easy for a home,
Work is pleasure for a wife.
Love can fill the hardest day
With sense of light and song;
Love can make the gloomy gay,
Love can make the weary strong;
Love can make the fields a-bloom,
Fill the wooes with melody:
Love is .Maryfin smile
Life is sweet and good to me.
